Japanator Radio 141 - Best of 2010 - Listener picks
by Zac Bentz, 07/21/2010
Japanator Radio 141 - Best of 2010 - Listener picks photo

Here we are with the final installment of our seemingly never-ending look back at the year in Japanese music (so far.)

This week we've got a show made up of various reader and listener picks for best albums of the year.  I wasn't able to get in everything that was mentioned, so you might want to take a look back at the previous two Jtor Radio shows as well as the original Best of 2010 post.

One note: I forgot to explain that while I know that the AVTechNO! song isn't from an album, I felt I needed to include one of his tracks just because Uzza did a nice job of schooling me on some Vocaloid stuff (even though I listen to dozens of new Vocaloid releases every week...)

We'll be back to the regular old show next week as we move on into the rest of the year. Let's hope it continues to impress!

Yes, super show Zac! Thanks for the Sakanaction and the Miki Furukawa. It's very cool that you were willing to do this for us. Been listening to your show since October. It introduced me to all of this. I couldn't imagine my life without it now. Nuff respect

This podcast is a box full of win.

Abingdon Boys School are pretty damn good. The production reminds me of the Devon Townsend Band a bit. I also liked D and 9Goats Black Out.

As always, thanks for putting this together, Zac! I always enjoy the genre variety you strive for.

Yes Abigngdon boys school have a very cool sound. They did the intros for darker than black.

Also, I'm not really abig fan of metal but the smooth vocals on 7th Rose were awesome, THAT MELODY just kills it every time.
For me it's been a damn good year for music so far. I just wish artists would put out EPs every 3 months or so. I'm dying for some more Sakanaction and School Food Punishment right now. Guess I'll just have to wait for my "Identity" CD/DVD
